Praise the HOLY, HOLY, HOLY LORD of Hosts
“In the year of King Uzziah’s death I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, lofty and exalted, with the train of His robe filling the temple. Seraphim stood above Him, …. And one called out to another and said ‘HOLY, HOLY, HOLY is the LORD of hosts, The whole earth is full of His glory.’ And the foundations of the thresholds trembled…”
I don’t think there’s any way we can get our minds around what the holiness of the LORD is like. I don’t think we have the slightest idea of what the glory of heaven is like. Those who glimpsed the LORD and heaven were dramatically changed. Their response? They gave their lives wholeheartedly to God and served Him unreservedly. Isaiah’s reaction? “Woe is me, for I am ruined! Because I am a man of unclean lips – And I live among a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of Hosts.” Is.6:5. All Isaiah could think in response to seeing the LORD was that he was unclean. Were it NOT for JESUS bearing our sins on the cross, we couldn’t live eternally in the HOLY, HOLY, HOLY LORD’S presence; which is why we praise HIM today and every day!
We praise You, HOLY, HOLY, HOLY Lord!
